Used 2005 Pontiac Bonneville GXP 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Salemans Car++
Studied them ALL for six months and decided on the GXP. Looks, Power, Handling, Comfort, Value and its American! Purchased used for 12,000+ under MSRP. Today you good do even better!! Highly recommend for us sports car lovers that need a 4-door business car to satisfy the Boss! Mileage 17/22 and I do not expect it to get better with already 22K miles on her!

all ok, A few dealer fine tuning under warranty, hope the bottom dosen!t fall out after warranty. Had 3 previous SSE v6 Bonnies without major repairs,keeping my fingers crossed on Norhstar v8
Great Ride
Only owned for about a month but so far very impressed. Expert reviewers missed on this one, traded 300C which was a terrible car, nothing worked after 3 months, GXP has great drive train, more than enough power, very good handling for a front driver. MPG so far is about 17/22 which should only improve with time
Good Vibes
The Bonnie Gxp is a blast to drive. With the sweet sound of it's pipes, I feel like it;s 1965 again. It has good power,could use more torque down low, but it's a dohc engine; and really starts to cook @ about 3500-4000 rpm.I love the styling. Looked at the Chrysler 300; but couldn't handle the cheese grader front end. And please; the Toyota Avalon is just plain ugly! The Bonnie has a busy interior, but I love the red dash at night; XM radio is fantastic. Gas mileage is only ok but it is a big heavy car with a v8. But like the man said "I feel good when I get in, and I feel good when I get out" If your looking for a larger car that handles like a BMW;w/good power;nice ride,big trunk; GXP!
Not what I thought it was gonna be...
I do lots of driving I put over 50000 miles a year due to work...I put over 100000 miles on my 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante. Decided it was time for a new car, went with the Bonneville. I enjoyed the car for like the first week, then came the unreal amount of creaking in the dash, a weird thunk in the rear everytime I go over a bump, broken horn, and broken heater... this car is not what I expected...only have 15000 miles on it. The car had good power when needed and looks good but that's about it. I can't wait to get out of my Bonneville.
